Step back in time in this charming circa 1700's Antique Farmhouse. Light, bright and large describe main level living space. Many new updates provide functional use while maintaining house history. Field card says 3 bedrooms, but extra rooms in full finished attic provide extra bedrooms and living space. Level property houses two barns to garage your cars or provide additional woodworking space. So much extra space makes the floor plan not only functional but versatile! Superb attention to detail. Come take a look...you will fall in love!
